Trump's problem is that he's an outsider who wants to fix the inside without knowing a damn thing about how it works. And he's needlessly alienated too many decent conservatives who could help him do that.
It is impossible to be an effective leader of any large organization without good people skills and the ability to work well with others. Trump's propensity to turn everything into "me against the world" makes that impossible.
When I was a business professor, before I retired, used to have this argument with my colleagues all the time. The business literature is very clear that leadership skills require teamwork, empathy, etc. But there are many examples of autocrats who have been successful leaders. Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, General Patton, Thomas Edison, Lorne Michaels for examples. It is a long list. Clearly, the trick is to match your personality to your leadership style, not to try to fit your personality into a "one size fits all" leadership paradigm that insists on communality.
In other words, if you are a natural born power hungry a-hole, then you need to learn to leverage that, as opposed to trying to repress it.
I would actually point to Trump as a good example of autocratic leadership, since he was a successful entrepreneur, known for a "my way or the highway" approach to managing. I also think on balance he was a successful president. He succeeds by being irrepressible. I don't think I would want him to be less so.
To me, the Wray appointment shows what happens when an abrasive autocrat tries to appease his enemies by being "inclusive." He ends up getting stabbed in the back, which happened to Trump time and time again. The biggest challenge for an autocrat is to find capable people who put loyalty to the boss above all else. Otherwise he will fail.
